Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work + Work = f*ck all to show for it.

Again.

Just like last week. And the week before that.

Sound familiar?

Maybe the first image here resembles your mental state more often than you’d like to admit. If so, PLEASE keep reading.

People don’t like to tell you this, but the truth is, every success is an overnight success.

They don’t say it because it’s not the feel-good mental-masturbation that sells courses and keeps you strung along for the next click.

But I can tell you the cold, hard truth because I have nothing to sell you, even if I wanted to.

The funniest part about this reality is that how success works and how success is NOT linear is actually WAY more motivating.

Why?

Because it means all that time you think was wasted can be made up for in a matter of days. It means success isn’t locked behind some mythical dungeon of grinding and hard work.

Work + Work + Work + Work × 10 Years = 🥴

Connecting Dots + Understanding Human Psychology + Proper Timing + Luck = 💰💰💰

I hate how cliché this sounds, but this is genuinely what I wish someone had told me when I started. It would have saved years of anxiety and that lost/hopeless/sinking feeling you may have right now.

But the TL;DR is, success is more often than not a parabolic curve caused by connecting dots with a bit of luck, not a gradual incline of grinding and hard work over 10 years.

Don’t believe me? Dig deeper than the first page of Google when researching the most successful people in your field, and the trend won’t be hard to notice.

There’s a reason you see 17-year-olds driving Lamborghinis with supermodels back to their penthouses with infinity pools on your timeline, while hundreds of others (who are MORE than capable) are still “grinding” and trying to get their lives together into their 40s.

So no, you are not crazy.

You're not wrong for feeling hopeless.

Stop listening to your broke, sick and depressed friends for guidance.

Please don't give up.

Please keep going.

I promise you it's all worth it.

...but only if you don't give up before you get there.

🖤🙏

@Star_Knight12 Lmao yes

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@burkov I’ve replaced people with it. And so have plenty of others.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@KaiXCreator Months ago.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@kr0der That's the exact reason why using Claude is insufferable.

I don't want to have a conversation with my dishwasher either.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@thsottiaux I’m not sure why, but it seems like you often need to nudge the model to use some of the core feature that make Codex magical or it won’t take advantage of them.

Things like the built in browser and computer use in particular.

I’ve also verified on different setup/devices.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@zoink Yes, but making a pretentious, censored, ideologically tuned model more honest just made it even more insufferable to use.

All that changed was how blunt it is with denying to do work the roleplay character Anthropic made doesn’t agree with.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@OurOwnNation This is probably one of the incredibly rare instances where the government isn’t manufacturing a threat. I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t see this is a very real and growing problem we’re about to face…

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@Fedesco5 @rileybrown 🤔

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@giordanorandone @OpenAI Caught off guard? Anthropic released a model that is still behind OpenAI's last generation let alone whatever 5.6 will bring and they know that.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@Fedesco5 @rileybrown That sounds… awful

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@JeremyCorbell @WhiteHouse Aged well.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@cline @dasilvashadow balls and strikes…

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@siliconvalleymm @thsottiaux Imagine pretending as an adult that there is such a thing as an AI model being “harmful” with a straight face.

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@anitakirkovska Once it’s true

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@markbuildsbrand Opus 4.8 is still behind OpenAI’s models from a year ago. This is borderline objective truth. It’s amazing how much cult-like behavior Anthropic has been able to cultivate…

Absolutely agree. The only thing worse than reading “book a call” when you want someone to take your money is the @OpenAIDevs plan upper limits.

PS: You can actually just have a script that rotates your auth details in the background too without an entire fork. Sounds like we all got creative pretty quickly lol

[Matthew Sabia @MatthewSabia]

@theblackvault LOL that's a ship. duh.
